Hey Sunny, it's been a while since i've posted in here but I couldn't miss out on congratulating you on your nakedness! Fantastic news and they look wonderful. I love your bondeds too, even they look nice! I love the peace of mind you get with bonded, so much so that I probably don't wear my Essix retainers enough but when I do put them in they always fit perfectly so I know the bondeds are doing their job. Congratulations again......you deserve it.

Most areas of Oz will be hot in November - 30+. Any place is good to go, as every place has loads of things to see and do. Don't plan to travel too much when you get here, as unlike most countries it's huge and you can spend days driving from one place to another!

I think I've used more salt in salt rinses than during my entire treatment! I have a row of mouth sores under my tongue from it rubbing on an inside edge on the lower retainer. I've smoothed the retainer, but these sores don't like spicy foods ... which I love ... or much else that I like. The warm salt water rinses make my mouth feel amazing ... but then I eat ... and ... well my mouth is sore again!

I love these tiny pieces of gold! They have a huge job to do and I hope they do it for a long time! I've not got my clear aligner type retainers yet ... but these are so easy, I was used to them within 24 hours!

My teeth are worn and come from a time when getting fillings every time you went to the dentist was expected ... but I'm just thrilled with my final results. Here's a photo ... a reminder of where these teeth once were!

At the end of work today it was my turn and I was really nervous. I was experiencing irrational thoughts, like maybe my teeth would fall out, that there'd be nasty stains ... but it was easy and great!

First one of my assistants bonded gold wires on the back of my upper six teeth and lower eight teeth. Next a quick turn with the pliers and out came the upper and lower brackets all attached to the archwire with powerchains
